Don't blame me: I'm one of the 1,843,124 people who voted Green, and particularly proud I didn't vote for Shabana Mahmood.
One of the people of Beorma and a bit sweary.
Member of the Green Party but my views are all mine.

In my pursuit of @greenparty.org.uk history I've been reading the original PEOPLE party's Manifesto for Survival from 1974.
It already includes some familiar items like no whip, localism and UBI, which it calls the National Income.

The key difference seems to be that the Green Party can go more than 24 hours without throwing some form of hiss fit or another.

That and having an actual policy agenda beyond repeating the word socialist

Yeah he's absolutely a Green, you can tell. And I can see him being an MP in the first Green government.
This lad though. Legend.

Latest from Your Party conference debate on dual membership...

Chair: "We're going to have to cut the mic [of the speaker]. We have to keep order. We have to keep order!"

The speaker wouldn't stop speaking.

Chair: "My glass of wine later is turning into a bottle."

I'm laughing so much next door banged on the wall. 🤣
Corbyn on holding an event at almost the same time as Zarah Sultana's rally last night...

"Zarah spoke [at her] rally, and I very happily, proudly sent a message to that rally, and Zarah sent one to ours.

"I was grateful [for] that support & solidarity...We've got to come together and be united."

@zackpolanski.bsky.social wants to introduce a wealth tax of 1% on assets of over £10m & 2% on assets over £1bn & if the super rich want to leave the UK because they are being taxed a tiny amount more then we should wave them goodbye

Thatcherite John Redwood says 1% isn't a tiny amount.

Change in Reform rating between latest and previous poll from each pollster in recent polls:

YouGov -2
Opinium -1
Find Out Now -1
Focaldata -2
More in Common -1
Lord Ashcroft -3
Freshwater -3
JL Partners -1
Ipsos -1

This is starting to look like a trend...

The transphobia displayed in the linked article is staggering. Yore Party is not about justice.
Hope they're having wrestling at the first conference though.
"There is the great paradox of Your Party’s journey so far: chaos at the top, impressive grassroots efforts at the base. The large local meetings have been undermined by factionalism, reckless conduct and incompetence from those (on all ‘sides’) centrally involved in the project."

Speaking as a constituent of Eva Braun Mahmood her being leader would be my birthday too for the same reason.
Her as leader, Ahmed Yakoob in prison for money laundering and You're Party collapsed would paint Ladywood the greenest it's been since it was an actual wood. 🌲🌴🎄

There are really only 2 possibilities for LAB to change its disastrous leader ATM.

Rayner or Miliband

Burnham doesn’t have a constituency, & any attempt at a by-election for him would be a freebie for REF, GRN or YP. Streeting does have a constituency but won’t have after the next election.
1/3
Leadership (of “Labour), poll.

Noticeable that Starmer v Streeting produces more Don’t Knows than enthusiasm for either candidate. Like Spurs v Man U you want both to lose; the choice between sick & wee.

The only decisive wins are Burnham & Rayner. Even Labour members want to move left.

Sign, repost and share this petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy.

We know Russian influence played a role in Brexit, but the Tory government didn't allow a full investigation.

It's time we had one!

Things move quickly in politics. The idea of a Sunday broadsheet dedicating it's entire front page to @greenparty.org.uk is huge, and let's be honest, a sign of changing times.
